Purchased for $355 ungraded. I had the note graded and no surprise there but the reverse of the note is really nice so I am trying to purchase the beauty of the note, not the grade. Of course, it's nice to get a good price on a nice note.

Martha Washington is the only woman (other than allegories of Justice, Liberty, etc.) depicted on the face of a United States Banknote. Her engraved portrait bust was used on the face of the $1 Silver Certificate of 1886 and 1891. Both Martha and George Washington are depicted together on the reverse of the $1 silver certificate of 1896.

The President and First Lady of America on a note. Imagine that now. The obverse of the note is the personification of History instructing a youth, pointing to a panoramic view of the Potomac River and Washington, D.C. The Washington Monument and the Capitol are visible in the background. The United States Constitution is displayed to the right. Circling the motif are the last names of famous Americans. Some of those listed are: (George) Washington, (Benjamin) Franklin, (Thomas) Jefferson, (Robert) Fulton, (Samuel F.B.) Morse, & (Ulysses S.) Grant.

Picked up at Great Collections. Gradually working on the Black Eagles. Always a re-sale market. This one has punch through embossing.

I rarely buy a non EPQ note if I have the funds for a nice EPQ. In this case the colors were so astounding I actually chose a non EPQ. All humans naturally love Black Eagles.

Fr. 237 $1 1923 Silver Certificate PMG Gem Uncirculated 65 EPQ for $156. These GEM Fr. 237's are showing some price creep. No one would pay more than $100 a few years back. Now you see them for over $200. It is the most common note in the UNIVERSE. Aliens spend the Fr. 237 on visits to Earth. PMG has over 4,500 graded 237's in their census!! 459 notes have been graded PMG 65.

Purchased for $59.98. The Fr-239 is the hot note in theis set but the 238 is important plus I really liked this note even though the grade is lower than I could afford.

The rare Woods-Tate combination I felt was necessary, even in low grade condition to complete the 237-239 "Horse Blankets"

While Hancock is no longer as well remembered as many of the other Civil War generals, he played an extremely important role, particularly on the third day of Gettysburg. Post-war, he ran for President and was narrowly defeated by James Garfield. This was the only presidential election where two Civil War veterans ran against each other. Picked up at Heritage and the cataloger didn't notice it was a radar. Hard to find radars on these large type notes.

From the incredible Mike Coltrane collection. This note has it all. And I adore the grade, 45EPQ. This is truly one of the most beautiful notes ever printed. I actually think this note is more attractive than the $1 and the $5 Educational notes. From the auction description - The $2 "Educational" is another spectacular currency design that is always a collector favorite. The glorious vignette on the face, Science Presenting Steam and Electricity to Industry and Commerce, was designed by Edwin Blashfield and engraved by Charles Schlecht and G.F.C. Smillie. The extremely detailed green back portrays inventors Robert Fulton and Samuel F. B. Morse. Another beautifully balanced and vibrant note from Mike's collection purchased at the 1995 Memphis show. This has the look of a higher-grade note at first glance and is perfect for a mid-grade range type set.
From The Mike Coltrane Collection.

One of the most iconic notes ever printed for US currency. U.S. Grant, hero of the Civil War on the obverse with a beautiful engraved image of 1886 Morgan Head silver dollars on the reverse. It strikes a chord with both currency and coin collectors alike thus it's ever expanding popularity. Track and Price records 314 notes of Fr. 261.

This note was graded as a 58 "Gem Like" from CGC. After the re-grade it went down to a 40. This note is almost perfect. No flaws I can see at all. It is a incredibly beautiful note with excellent centering. One of the true greats of the large note era, fondly known as the "Chief."
